At various points in my therapy we have spent a decent amount of time talking about what is going on between us in that particular moment, and it has sometimes been revealing.
My T 'seems' very present and like she is 'watching; me all the time to see what is going on for me but like you doesn't often comment on it. From time to time she will ask 'what do I feel?' or "where did I go?' but only occassionaly. I am not sure what good it is for her to watch me like this if she isn't going to comment so that I can learn something from it/ It seems helpful that your T does this
